Well, I finally pulled the trigger and picked up a new stick. I went with a Viking VM34. Based mainly on feel, looks, and the fact that it was made three hours away in Madison WI. I went to my local dealer, and with my best ‘I’m spending my last dollar on a pool cue’ got a $210 cue for $130. We’ll see how it plays tonight.
EDIT: Wanted to add that the advice here also played a big part in my decision.
Played with the new cue last night, and it really does make a difference.
